Notice of information on the termination of the demarches with a third country notified on 1 October 2015 of the possibility of being identified as a non-cooperating third country pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing

(2019/C 221/02)

The European Commission (the Commission) has terminated the demarches initiated with Taiwan (1) on 1 October 2015 with the Commission Decision 2015/C 324/10 (2) on notifying Taiwan of the possibility of being identified as a non-cooperating third country (3) in fighting illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1936/2001 and (EC) No 601/2004 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1093/94 and (EC) No 1447/1999 (4) (the IUU Regulation).

1.   Legal framework

Pursuant to Article 32 of the IUU Regulation, the Commission should notify third countries of the possibility of their being identified as non-cooperating countries. Such notification is of a preliminary nature and is based on the criteria laid down in Article 31 of the IUU Regulation.

The Commission should take all the demarches set out in Article 32 with respect to those countries. In particular, the Commission should include in the notification the essential facts and considerations underlying such identification, provide those countries the opportunity to respond and to provide evidence refuting the identification or, where appropriate, a plan of action to improve and rectify the situation.

The Commission should give to the third countries concerned adequate time to answer the notification and reasonable time to remedy the situation.

2.   Procedure

On 1 October 2015, the European Commission notified Taiwan of the possibility of being identified as a non-cooperating third country in fighting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The Commission highlighted that in order to avoid identification as a non-cooperating country in fighting IUU fishing, Taiwan was invited to cooperate with the Commission on the basis of a proposed action plan to rectify the shortcomings identified.

The Commission opened a process of dialogue with Taiwan. This country submitted oral and written comments that were considered and taken into account by the Commission. The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed necessary.

The Commission concludes that Taiwan has introduced the necessary measures for the cessation and the prevention of the IUU fishing activities that led to the notification of the possibility of being identified as a non-cooperating country in fighting IUU fishing.

3.   Conclusion

In the given circumstances and after examining the abovementioned considerations, the Commission hereby terminates the demarches initiated vis-à-vis Taiwan pursuant to the provisions of Article 32 of the IUU Regulation, with respect to the discharge of the duties incumbent upon it under international law as flag, port, coastal or market State and its actions to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. The relevant competent authorities have been officially informed by the Commission.

The abovementioned termination of demarches does not preclude the Commission or the Council from taking any subsequent step in the future, if factual elements reveal that the country fails to discharge the duties incumbent upon it under international law and thus to take action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing.

ANNEX

‘DEALURILE SĂTMARULUI’

PGI-RO-A0107-AM01

Date of application: 10.6.2015

REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

1.   Rules applicable to the amendment

Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 — Non-minor modification

2.   Description and reasons for amendment

2.1.   Re-demarcating the defined geographical area

The Association of Wine Producers of the traditional vineyards of Satu Mare has submitted an application to modify the specification for the Dealurile Sătmarului GI in order to extend the demarcated production area to localities which have the specific characteristics of the Satu Mare area.

The above is supported by information regarding the wines from the wine-growing region of Dealurile Sătmarului, more specifically from Rătești, which have long been produced and known under the designation ‘Dealurile Răteștilor’ or ‘Vinul de Halmeu’.

Factors regarding the relief and climate specific to the hills of Satu Mare, such as Ardud, Beltiug, Hurez, Hodod, Tășnad, etc., which have steeper slopes with terracing that mitigates their inclines, with Pleistocene soils of red clays, and north-facing slopes with gentler inclines covered with more podzolic soils, with Mediterranean influences, determine the development and production of wines with characteristics similar to those obtained in other localities composing the area of the Dealurile Sătmarului GI.

The wines have floral or fruity aromas (forest fruit of Pinot noir, Merlot, Burgund mare) as well as peppery or grassy aromas with pleasant primary notes (Fetească albă, Furmint). The flavours are typical of the variety: they are round, full-bodied, tannic, velvety wines with moderate astringency. The white wines have a distinct freshness due to the soil’s acidity.

The demarcated area of the geographical indication Dealurile Sătmarului is amended to extend it to the following localities in the county of Satu Mare:

| — | Beltiug (Beltiug, Rătești and Șandra villages) |

During the period of the Communist regime in Romania, localities were organised by vineyards and wine-growing centres. There was a well-known wine-growing centre called Valea lui Mihai, which extended into the two counties of Satu Mare and Bihor.

Valea lui Mihai in Satu Mare County indicated in the specification sent for the Dealurile Crișanei GI, cf. Article 118s of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, was removed because it was the name of a wine-growing centre.

Considering the precise and exact delimitation of the area, wine-growing centres and vineyards were no longer relevant since the delimitation is done on the basis of localities (cities, towns, villages); Valea lui Mihai has been removed from the specification for Dealurile Crișanei as belonging to Satu Mare County, because it is the name of a wine-growing centre, not a locality.

8.   Description of the link(s)

Link with the geographical area — details of the geographical area

The specific natural feature is the hilly area of Maramureș, causing a certain reduction in temperatures and increased rainfall variability. Winters in this area are milder, and wine-growing areas enjoy a significant amount of sunshine while being sheltered from winds and cold currents.

This is noticeable on sunnier slopes with temperatures averaging over 10,0 °C (perhaps even higher in Rătești) and reaching 20,0 °C in July, and redistribution according to the orientation of the slope means that the vineyard enjoys higher temperatures.

The multi-annual average amount of precipitation in the area is 650 to 700 mm.

The ripening of the grapes is influenced by the number of sunny days, which total 2 000 hours/year, and also by the winds, with predominantly north-western winds in the spring and eastern and north-eastern winds in the autumn and winter.

The hydrographic network of the demarcated area irrigates the vineyards in the Crasna, Someș, Tur and Ier basins through major tributaries bordering the slopes on which the vines grow.

The soils of the Ardud-Beltiug-Hurez hills (the villages of Beltiug, Rătești and Șandra, Ardud, Ardud Vii and Gherăușa, Hurez) are composed of loamy deposits, and there are also yellowish or reddish brown soils with gravel and sand in areas that are more eroded.

Link with the geographical area — causal interaction

The thermal climate ensures good development of the sugar content and acidity of the grapes and improves the quality of the aromas, guaranteeing good values at the end of the ripening period.

Quality wines have floral or fruity aromas (forest fruit) and pleasant primary notes, which are peppery, grassy, typical of the variety, with round and balanced aromas influenced by the growing season characterised by average day-time temperatures greater than 10,0 °C, during which time temperatures become high enough for maturation.

The fruity, full-bodied aromas (forest fruit, redcurrant, blackberry, blueberry) are noticeable in red wines, particularly those produced from the soils of the Hodod hills (Hodod, Nadișu Hododului etc. villages), which have loamy, often carbonate, sediments rich in nutrients where large amounts of anthocyanins accumulate and benefit these wines.

The acidic soils and southern orientation (in Rătești) together with the mild winters help produce fresh white wines (with vibrant acidity, specific aromas of elderberry, green apple, honey, acacia) and balanced red wines (fruity aromas, typical of the variety when matured in a barrel) with potential for ageing (subtle notes of vanilla when aged in oak barrels for 12 months, spices).
